The ASI6585 and ASI6685
are professional PCI and PCIe
sound cards designed for use in Axia Livewire™
IP-audio based radio broadcast automation systems
They use the Axia Livewire
protocol to record and play audio streams over a standard
Ethernet network. Providing
up to 16 play streams that are mixed to 8 stereo outputs and
up to 16 record streams
fed from 8 stereo inputs, the ASI6585/ASI6685 features AudioScience’s unique
“anything to anywhere” mixing and routing.
A choice of uncompressed PCM, MPEG
layer 2, and MP3 is available for both recording and playback. All
compression is handled by an on-board floating point DSP, allowing
the host computer to focus on other tasks.
DSP based functionality includes MRX™
multi-rate mixing technology that allows streams of different
sample-rates and formats to be mixed digitally. TSX™ time scaling
allows compression/expansion of any or all playback streams in real
time with no change in pitch.
For emerging surround sound
applications, SSX™ mode allows multichannel streams of up to 8
channels to be played, recorded and mixed.
